Best stop on our trip!
Our stay was very relaxing and rejuvenating. Our lake view room was spacious, clean and always stocked with milk, towels, toiletries. The on premises laundry was extremely helpful as we were traveling for a month from overseas. The hosts were gracious as well as informed. This was the best stop on our journey!
